others of their kind, would make them think oth-

erwise. Grippli are extremely social creatures, they
suffer from strong depression that they think will kill
them in a matter of weeks if left alone. It is because of
this that grippli are not very picky when it comes to
friends, and will forever prefer complete strangers to
loneliness. It is this overwhelming fear of loneliness
that prevents many grippli from ever leaving the social
safety of their tribes.
These creatures, regardless of age or social status,
have a strong affinity towards music, with an especial-
ly unexplainable love of the drums. The deep pound-
ing of these drums can be heard echoing throughout
most summer nights in the forests and jungles which
they dwell. The grippli have also become expert arti-
sans at drum making. These exotic styled instruments
can be found in far away cities, the expert craftsman-

drums to fetch a high price at market. Each grippli
tribe makes use of this instrument in all of its ceremo-

munication between other tribes. Most common of 1085613
all grippli drums are made of clay and fashioned with

animal hide. The more exotic of these instruments
are made from magically shaped wood and the skulls
of large animals. Many tribes also have a single great
drum that is shared by the entire community, these
massive instruments can measure almost ten feet in
diameter and are played by multiple performers at
once. The sounding of these tribal drums can be heard
for miles in each direction.
A grippli village is mostly tribal in organization.
Each grippli family maintains its own dwelling place.
These villages are built between the closely spaced
trees and branches. The basic design of a tree village
is a “Central Village” of thatched-roof huts on the
primary limbs. These huts are high enough above the
ground to be out of reach of predators. Suspended
bridges connect the gaps between trees, adjoining
distant huts. Knotted grass ladders allow access up
or down. In most tree cities, the village Elders order

Grippli V illages
Not all grippli villages are located in trees, as the race expands new types of villages are being formed to
adapt to their ever changing environments.
Ground Villages: Some Grippli make their homes in isolated huts on the forest floor. Although ground
villages can leave them open to attacks by vicious predators, grippli compensate by trying to disguise their
village with it’s surroundings. Beyond the typical hut, many homes are made out of gourds, hollowed logs,
compressed peat moss, and even small burrows as earth lodges.
Lake Villages: Grippli also build homes on shallow, placid lakes. The lake Grippli build their villages on
bamboo stilts out in the water, protecting them from large predators. These Grippli get most of their food
by setting wicker traps to catch fish in the lake. Older Grippli spend their time harvesting marsh grasses and
drying them in the sun. They then take these dry grasses and make them into mats, clothing, baskets, and
decorative tapestries.
Cliff Villages: Some tribes of Grippli make their homes on a rock face beside a spraying waterfall. Using
intricate nets and fishing devices, they are able to catch a variety of fish from the falling waters. Often times,
the tribe mother will have her dwelling in small caves and crevices behind the waterfall.
Nomads: Grippli are not suited for nomadic life and you will never encounter a tribe of grippli roaming
the vast lands. Often, nomadic grippli are the offspring of lost tribes or sole-survivors of a destroyed village.
Even so, these grippli do not stay solitary long and will seek out their own kind or join whatever friendly
group will take them.

Grippli Special Material

Grippli often rely on bone as a special material, 1085629
because it is well suited to their needs and homeland

and it is difficult to mine swamps for metal or stone.
As such, assume most weapons that would use steel,
like daggers, swords, spears, and lances, are more likely
made of bone.
B one
Bone can be used in place of wood and steel in
weapons and armor. Other animal-based materials
like horn, shell, and ivory also use the rules for bone
weapon and armor. The cost of a bone weapon or
bone armor is half the price of a normal weapon or
armor of its type.
Light and one-handed melee weapons, as well as
two-handed weapons that deal bludgeoning damage
only, can be crafted from bone. Hafted two-handed
weapons such as spears can be crafted with bone tips,
